About this map

Brookside and the industrial corridors of northern Jefferson County appear here as they were in the early twenty-first century. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Locust Fork and its tributaries, including Cane Cr and Fivemile Cr. This area is dense with historical communities such as Linn Crossing, Blossburg, Cardiff, and Sayre, many of which developed around the region's mining and railway heritage.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted, such as Saint Michaels Cem and the Linns Crossing Cem. Distinctive infrastructure and terrain features are documented throughout, from the Jefferson Tunnel to the heights of Crocker Mtn. The map provides a clear picture of the modern road network, including the Bankhead Hwy and Old Highway 78, showing how transportation patterns evolved around older settlements like Robbins Crossroads and Brents Cross Roads.
